\"\"Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival<\/strong><\/a> celebrates its 20th anniversary! Kicking off on October 25, 2016 the festival will show a number of Slovak films screened not only in the competition section but also within accompanying events, workshops and masterclasses. The jubilee edition lasts until October 30, 2016.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two Slovak films introduced in Ji.hlava in their world premiere vie with twelve other documentaries in the competition section Between the Seas, open for countries of Central and Eastern Europe with\u00a0common historical, political, and cultural interconnections.
\nThe first one is a documentary by acclaimed Robert Kirchhoff A Hole in the Head<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a film essay about the Roma holocaust,\u00a0the stories and fates of European Romani tied to the countries they have inhabited and still inhabit. The film represents\u00a0an elegy to the victims of a monstrous regime and human indifference.
\nThe second is a mid-length debut A Tall Tale<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Lucia Babjakov\u00e1 Nimcov\u00e1, which\u00a0has been\u00a0presented at Docu Talents@KVIFF 2016 earlier this year. A <\/em>folk opera consisting of bawdy folk songs, storytelling ballads and pre-modern hip-hop has been\u00a0made in close co-operation with Scotish musician Sholto Dobie. The director said: \u201cA Tall Tale<\/em> seeks to capture private and hidden realities excluded from the main historical narrative of the region. Hard mountain rap, vintage feminism and filthy Carpathian hip hop are still alive and relevant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

On\u00a0the occasion of the festival\u00b4s 20th anniversary, the organizers have launched the section Jihlava Manifesto reflecting contextual and stylistic diversity of the Jihlava IDFF\u2019s programme over the past twenty years of its existence. The sidebar showcases 20 documentary essays, among them also\u00a0the notable documentary collage Paper Heads<\/em><\/strong><\/a> (1995) by Du\u0161an Han\u00e1k dealing with the topic of freedom and the lack of it, and the relationship between citizens and the Totalitarian regime in former Czechoslovakia in post -World War two era. The film will be screened in a restored and digitized version thanks to the project SK PRES \u2013 Slovak Presidency of the Council of the European Union.<\/p>\n

The Works of renowned dramaturge, screenwriter, and director Pavol S\u00fdkora (1931\u20131970) will be brought to the audiences at the festival’s workshop. This key figure of Slovak documentary film of the 1960s will be represented by his most distinctive and original portraits Vlado, Marienka, Jojo a star\u00fd otec<\/strong><\/em> (1966), Spove\u010f <\/strong><\/em>(1968), ABCD<\/strong><\/em> (1969) and Mal\u00fd gazda<\/strong><\/em> (1969). Film theorist Martin Ka\u0148uch will be the lector of the workshop, together with his guest Rudolf Urc, aone of S\u00fdkora\u00b4s\u00a0former colleagues.<\/p>\n

Another two films Trabant \u2013 From Australia to Bangkok<\/em><\/strong><\/a> by Dan P\u0159ib\u00e1\u0148 and Ida’s Mission<\/em><\/strong> by Tom\u00e1\u0161 Kudrna will be screened out of competition as part of the selection Czech Television Documentaries.<\/p>\n

This year’s Jihlava IDFF Industry Programme will offer a rich variety of activities. A One-day conference on experimental film distribution Conferenece Fascinations will be held to promote Central and Eastern European films internationally and to facilitate collaboration with experienced distributors and festivals abroad. On this occasion,\u00a0the following experimental short films by well-known conceptual artists will be introduced: LIFT <\/strong><\/em>(1972) by Vladim\u00edr Havrilla, Inform\u00e1cia o ruk\u00e1ch a \u013eu\u010foch<\/em><\/strong> (1982) and Domo<\/em>v <\/em><\/strong>(1983) by \u013dubom\u00edr Dur\u010dek.<\/p>\n

The Industry Programme will also host several Masterclasses by exceptional documentary filmmakers. A masterclass with Slovak cinematographer and director Martin Kollar will be accompanied by a screening of his film 5 October<\/em><\/strong><\/a> and by a case study of Slovak documentarists Peter Kerekes, Marek \u0160ul\u00edk and Martin Kollar.
